This entire debate could be ended if the developers would simply add an option to the Preferences that allowed the individual user to select between the new Save/Export mechanism and the old 2.6 Save-to-Type-Opened mechanism (including the "specified extension" override), with the default being the new method. Gimp would continue to operate out of the box in the "professional" mode unless a user made the conscious decision to reassert the previous save method -- knowing exactly what "dangers" this would pose. No one gets hurt. Everyone could be happy.
However, this option has been discussed before and the developers refuse to consider it -- period. I have never heard any reasonable argument for not being willing to implement this solution. It is a great mystery why they wish to alienate such a large portion of the existing user base over what should be a very trivial matter. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
